Port Blair, Oct. 11: In order to carry out repairs of the damaged ramp of the vehicle ferry vessel MVF Kadamtala, presently operating between Middle Strait and Baratang, her services would be withdrawn with effect from Oct. 12, 2022.

With the withdrawal of vehicle ferry vessel MVF Kadamtala from the above route,  services of only two vehicle ferry vessels would be available for transshipment of passengers and vehicles in between Middle Strait and Baratang, which may cause some inconvenience to the commuters, which is deeply regretted.

All commuters have been requested to cooperate and plan their journey accordingly. Nevertheless, best efforts are being put in by the Directorate of Shipping Services to repair the vessel expeditiously so that  the services of MVF Kadamtala can be resumed in the above route at the earliest.
